New rental laws under the spotlight as agents hit the road

Propertymark is inviting letting agents to find out more about the latest legislative changes at one of its upcoming regional conferences.  

As part of the professional body’s #MOREFOR24 campaign, Propertymark members can attend one of these conferences for free. 

It kicks off with a Bristol conference on September 12 with speakers including James Munro, the head of the National Trading Standards Estate and Letting Agency Team, plus Paul Shamplina, the founder of Landlord Action and a regular market commentator on TV. Alex Jeffrey, partner at Bright Solicitors, will talk about the possible challenges ahead, as well as the opportunities letting agents have for the rest of the year.  

Munro and Jeffrey will also feature as guest speakers at Propertymark’s Old Trafford regional event on September 17, where other keynote speakers include Lucy Noonan, founder of specialist acquisition management services Atomic Consultancy, and Timothy Douglas, Propertymark’s head of policy and campaigns.  

There will also be updates from ARLA Propertymark President Angharad Trueman, NAEA Propertymark President Toby Leek, and NAVA Propertymark Advisory Panel Member Stuart Collar-Brown.  

Jason Lee, head of commercial at Propertymark, says:  “Propertymark’s regional conferences are back with a bang and continue to grow. We have an amazing line up of guest speakers for all attending these events to help enrich their knowledge about the latest happenings across our industry. Non members are also welcome to attend and book their tickets.

“We encourage members to use this membership benefit and book your free ticket to attend a conference near them and network with likeminded professionals.”
